The bitcoin reference client seems to get confused by this. It seems to allow additional spending of the unconfirmed change addresses and forms a chain of double spent transactions. The bitcoin balance as reported by 'getbalance' also becomes unreliable as it computes the balance incorrectly. Eventually the wallet stops working.
